I’m the first to admit I love Disney Princesses. I also grew up loving shows like Buffy, Dark Angel, Charmed and of course, Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman. That love for Wonder Woman has followed me most of my life, so I always wanted to stand up for the innocent and defend the defenseless. GailContinue reading “Warrior Princess – Music Monday”

Write What You Know… Or Don’t
I tend to write a lot of fantasy, sci-fi and superhero stories. Sadly, I have never been given super powers by a science experiment go wrong, nor have I ever been a werewolf or been to space. But, some days I fake it pretty well. Or at least, my characters do. “Write what you know”Continue reading “Write What You Know… Or Don’t”
Finding Theme.
About two and a half years ago I went to a writer’s workshop taught by Kelly Sue DeConnick. I talk about that workshop a lot, because it pretty much changed my life. I had been writing for as long as I could remember, but that workshop was the first time I really started to seeContinue reading “Finding Theme.”
Ready Or Not, Here I Come – Music Monday
I dig a lot of spy things. Spy TV, spy movies, spy stories. I have a particular fondness for Natasha Romanoff aka the Black Widow. So this week’s playlist is inspired by my favorite red-headed femme fatale. There’s still a lot of debate over whether or not she’ll get her own movie, but I thinkContinue reading “Ready Or Not, Here I Come – Music Monday”
Music Monday – Find Me Where The Wild Things Are
I think we all meet people in life that try to shove us into boxes we don’t fit into. It’s easy to let those people hurt us or tell us who we are, but today’s playlist is all about pushing back against those preconceived notions, and continuing on toward the life we want. Most ofContinue reading “Music Monday – Find Me Where The Wild Things Are”
Music Monday – And Drift Away
So this playlist was going to be angsty one, about ditching bad friends and moving on, since that’s where my head has been at this weekend thanks to a dream I had about a person no longer in my life. Instead, you’re getting light, fluffy, electronica-ish music. Partially because I need a pick-me-up since it’sContinue reading “Music Monday – And Drift Away”
Stranger
Here is my piece for the weekly challenge over at the 100 Word Stories Podcast. Please check out the link to see the other stories, or to joy the challenge yourself. This story is particularly dear to my heart, because it’s about one of my dearest and closest friends. I, of course, read it off toContinue reading “Stranger”
Music Monday – It’s just a Reflektor
My love of music was definitely something that I got from my parents, especially my Dad. As early as I can remember, he’d challenge us to name a song, the artist/band or something else about a tune on the radio. Usually he’d reward us with a quarter or fifty cents for a correct answer. I’mContinue reading “Music Monday – It’s just a Reflektor”
